Solution

The correct option is A Diffused reflection
Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that the incident ray is scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of regular reflection. Generally a non-metallic material has a rough surface which scatters the incident light in different directions. This is known as diffused reflection.
